Keiser University (KU) Chancellor, Dr. Arthur Keiser, has announced that, as their campuses prepare for the back to school season, additional graduate degrees have been added at seven more of its Florida campuses via online delivery through the Graduate School.

“Continuing to expand the degree offerings at the graduate level allows our students to further their educational pursuits in a convenient setting as they seek to change careers or advance in their professions,” said Dr. Arthur Keiser. “Our Graduate School offers doctoral and master’s degrees in fields that are relevant to Florida’s diverse economy and global competitiveness.”

Keiser University has grown from one student to nearly 20,000 over the last four decades. It was first accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in the 1980’s. In 2006, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) approved Keiser University to offer master’s degrees. In 2012, Level VI accreditation was attained signifying SACSCOC approval of KU’s expanded doctoral level degrees.

As the Graduate School continues to grow, faculty and student research projects focused on effecting positive change have been published, while many others are in progress. In 2015, through state grant funding, Keiser University joined five Florida universities as part of the Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resource System’s (FDLRS) Multidisciplinary Educational Services Centers. The grant is designed to provide services to teachers and parents in improving educational outcomes for students with disabilities. The work of the centers is to evaluate students and provide a range of services including diagnostic evaluation and consultation services for children and youth identified as having complex medical, educational, emotional, and/or behavioral problems.
